Excels at identifying suspicious activity, helps mitigate potential security breaches, and is easy to use
We use CrowdStrike Falcon to investigate security detections for malicious activities in our environment. CrowdStrike utilizes machine learning algorithms and detection rules to generate alerts for suspicious activity within our environment. We then investigate these detections individually…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"The OverWatch is the most valuable feature to me. It's a 24x7 monitoring service, and when they see anything suspicious in my environment, they will investigate."
"It's very easy to set up."
"IP tracing is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"The solution is not stable."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."
"The solution could improve by providing more types of reports because it's in the detection span you cannot re-export anything. If it could be exported to a CSV file directly there it would help a lot. I currently need to do this by API to get what I need."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."
"The technical support needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I know it is tough to get big budget additions up front, but I highly recommend deploying environment wide and adding the forensic service."
"While the cost may have been high, we view it as a worthwhile investment due to Fortinet's reliability and long-term performance."
"The price is comprable to other endpoint security solutions."
"The pricing is typical for enterprises and fairly priced."

"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced. It is quite expensive if you compare it to other solutions, such as Blue Coat, Symantec, McAfee, or Kaspersky."
"The solution is overly priced."
